Todd Bishop / GeekWire:

  Nokia and Microsoft will have to wait a little longer to press the Start button.

Microsoft’s $7.2 billion acquisition of Nokia’s devices and services business, originally expected to close this quarter, won’t be completed until April, the companies acknowledged tonight. Nokia announced the delay in a news release, saying that both companies are still committed to the transaction and confident that the deal will close.
